Finished Playhouse

The Playhouse is Done!!!!

I am so excited to share this finished project with you, like many project I do it starts with a little idea and then snowballs into something way bigger. If my husband had it his way we would have thrown up the walls, slapped a little paint on it and called it good. I think my vision turned out better than his.

The Grocery Store was a complete surprise for the kids, they love to play store so I thought it would be perfect in here.

I love these signs they turned out great

I searched high and low for food to go in the playhouse but all that I could find was a ice cream package and some fruit and veggies so I decided to make my own felt food. These were my first attempts. I have many more to make for the kids but I ran out of time to get it all done. Plus I couldn't make them wait any longer to see it.

I found this cute ice cream kit at Ikea

This bench was made for the kids playhouse by their Grandpa, I store all the extra craft stuff in here.

I couldn't do a playhouse without a craft table for the kids, they love to craft just as much as I do.

I found these cute buckets at easter time as stocked them away for this very project. The hooks I picked up from the dollar store. The trick is to see if the stuff will actually all stay where it is supposed to go.

I tried to make everything have a little vintage feel to it. One of my favorite projects so far.

I finished this late last night so this morning I got the kids up and first thing they got to do was check it out. The looks on their faces is what makes this all worth it. I know they are going to have so many hours of fun and create so many memories in this space.

How in the world did I miss this?? I've been soooo stinking excited for the reveal and WOW!! It looks amazing! I love every inch of it...the grocery store would get constant use by my kiddos and the "create" center is perfect! You, my friend, rock! I can't even imagine how excited your boys are to have such a fun playhouse!

Adopt me! I would love it if you would link up to my Tuesday Confessional link party going on now: http://www.craftyconfessions.com/2011/07/tuesday-confessional-link-up-2.html. I hope to see you soon!~Macy from Confessions of a SAHM

I'm so glad you stumbled upon my blog today!! I LOVE your playhouse!! It is every kids dream!!! You put so much detail in it, i'm amazed!! And the colors are perfect!! Great job!!- your newest follower!! :)

Stopping by from Creative Carmella, I just HAD to take a look at this for myself and she was right-this is AMAZING! I want to play in it! :) I hope someday we have the space to do something like this for our kids!!

this is a fantastic kids space, the grocery store is just too cute and looks like it would be quite easy to convert to other things when the kids tire of selling groceries- soda shop, bakery spring to mind!

Welcome to Creative Raisins, my name is Lisa and I am addicted. That's right you heard me I am addicted to creating. You name it I love it. I love the challenge of putting on an amazing party and making a cake, decorating a room, trying my hand at sewing or a simple project with my kids.
I am a mother to 3 amazing and wonderful boys who keep me on my toes everyday. I am a wife to my husband of almost 10 years who tries very hard to be supportive but crosses his fingers that my ideas won't involve him.
Thanks for stopping in and hope you will stay to join us on this ride.
